When arriving at BWI, cabs are widely available, and cost between $25 and $30 one way into downtown Baltimore.   

SuperShuttle also provides shuttle service from all of the major airports and is somewhat less expensive than cab service.  For more on SuperShuttle, visit: http://www.supershuttle.com/

Follow Baltimore Street approximately one to two blocks to your right (east) until you arrive at the Radisson Lord Baltimore Hotel at 20 W.
